<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It’s time for me to eat a little crow. I was mistaken about last week’s database change to Production. In fact, all Lyrasis wanted to do last week was to take the first step toward upgrading our production
database to MySQL 8. This week for sure, tomorrow 14 December at or around 6p, they are going to do the actual db upgrade. My apologies for the error and the inconvenience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">ALSO tomorrow night at or around 6p, they are going to load into the Test environment the first pass at upgrading us to ArchivesSpace 3.3.1. Since it’s just going into Test, I won’t detail the features and
bugfixes that happened between our current version (2.7.1) and this new one. More communications around that to come. There will surely be extended downtime with the Test environment as the database index (for searching, inter alia) is recreated after ArchivesSpace
is upgraded. It’s hard to say exactly how much downtime there will be, but please don’t count on using the Test environment after 6p tomorrow night until the morning of the 15th. While nobody expects it to take that long, this first attempt carries more risk
of delay than later ones will.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I thank you in advance for your patience with the Test environment as we take this exciting step.
